Oh, wow - it's been two months since my last food post, je suis désolée. It's really tricky for me because while I do love eating and I cook all the time, I don't spend all of my time trying new recipes and styling and photographing my food. Because of this, my new goal is to make food content more about eating rather than cooking. Lately I've been eating a lot of rice and black beans with pan-fried peppers and onions, fajita-style, on top...occasionally I add some sliced avocado. It's healthy, easy and cheap, but gets redundant, so I was overjoyed to find this recipe for vegetarian bibimbap with quinoa on Reclaiming Provincial. While not a "true" bibimbap, the recipe is, as blogger Carey Nershi notes, super customizable, which means you can use whatever you have on hand to make the dish your own - the fun of bibimbap is stirring all of the ingredients together, anyway. I love that Nershi made hers with corn, carrot and avocado. Sometimes the best eating ideas are just a matter of seeing a dish from another perspective.

Another great option I found was this veggie quinoa breakfast bowl, which I would totally have for dinner. It's the same general idea as the bibimbap - quinoa with vegetables and an egg on top - but I suppose in this instance you don't necessarily mush them all together. But it's more fun that way, so add some hot paste and call this a variation on a theme. Photos Carey Nershi; click through for source. Like this post?
